i trade the futures and use oanda demo for cash quotes.

i only use 50 on the hourly chart to get me some idea of the general trend. The ema is not really that important for my trading.

would like to help: problem is i use more or less the same, chart patterns on 0.30 s / 1 min / 5 min, combined with a EMA and RSI so this will probably not really help you any further.

I'm for one thing am glad the people who set up this poll dont run IB, because that would be a real disaster judging by the way they set up this thing ... :D

oh and another point: 9.30 am, is which 9.30 am ? CET, GMT, EST or what, it tends to make a difference.

making a poll out of it makes no sense: what if you got logged off at two different times, you can only vote once. Personally i'm quite satisfied with IB, you will have problems however with every broker sometimes, nothing is perfect. As long as they remain minor i can live with that. Exchanges...

guess they forgot to exercise the "put" in 2001 and 2002, just when it was most needed. Some people will believe anything as long as it sounds mysterious ....

volatility = %/year

its not difficult to keep track of you: you are just on every IB-bashing thread. And no i dont want them to upgrade their quotes: this will only diminish performance of the actual trading. If you want quotes get a quoteprovider like everybody else. And if you really want to know this has been...

this changing brokers takes a long time with you.

i made it a bit simpler for some people here it was NLG if you want to know

also there is no such thing as an average daytrader, I personally know a guy who turned 50.000 euro into more then 25 M euro in the last seven years as a futures trader daytrading, others never seem to make any decent money.

a lot of daytraders just dont think in percentage terms when they evaluate their performance.

for those interested i found this link in english: http://home.planetinternet.be/~pin34989/AndriesVandenAbeele/bankers.htm Referring to the book i mentioned, one story Kostolany tells about is short after WW I when Germany had to repay costs of the war which caused the DEM to slide. So...

trade4succes, i only have a dutch version of the book so i'm afraid i can't help you with this one.

ok, let's go into this: the thread title is "the start of forex" it's not "the start of forex in the USA". Not everybody lives in the USA. And for the record i'm American.

Well the least you can say Wallace you caused a lot of confusion by starting the thread with the history of forex and mentioning China and the rest later on. Here is the book i wanted to mention, it's in german, havent found the english version. It tells the personal story about Andre...

was looking at amazon.com but apparently they dont exist in english. Some explanation: this guy is over 80 years old (could be that he died) and has been a speculator all his life, in his books he tells about lots of stories of forex speculation he did over the years in the last century.
